To You who Shames Yourself
They sat across from me at lunch, two dear friends. And one said something like, “I don’t know anyone else who is harder on herself than you are.” She shook her head, and my other friend nodded. I could see they hurt for me, that it hurt them that I hurt myself with internal shaming […]

Restory Show is COMING!
I’m really excited about launching a brand new podcast. While my last podcast, Live Uncaged, was a delight to produce, re-story makes me nearly (!) jump up and down with joy. Why? Because I have the privilege of sharing OPS (Other People’s Stories). In my travels and experiences as a writer and speaker, I’ve run […]

That Time I Expected Drudgery but Found a Surprise Instead
This year my word is a bit sad and morose: subtraction. And to be honest, I prepared myself for a year of taking away, and that did not sound like roses and ponies and rainbows. Thankfully, I continue to learn that God is a surprising God who doesn’t act in ways we expect Him to. […]

The year of subtraction
I’ve hesitated sharing this publicly, but you know me: Mrs. Disclosure. I figured it would leak out anyway. And to be honest, at first I didn’t like this word that kept worming its way into my life and heart last fall. Subtraction? Who wants subtraction? Addition, yes. Multiplication, yes. But subtraction? The more I considered […]

Get Not Marked at a Huge Discount
I woke up this morning burdened for those carrying around the mark (and pain and heartache and lingering shame) of past sexual abuse. Then I checked my warehouse numbers. I still have a bunch of these books just sitting there, not helping anyone. So I figured, let’s move these books out into the world. Let’s […]

The More Important Things
“Do not neglect the more important things.” Matthew 23:23 As we bring 2015 to a close, I thought I’d share a prayer you can pray as you prepare your heart for 2016. Jesus reminds us in this simple sentence that there are unimportant things that can be shiny and take away our attention, and there […]

23 Things I love about Sophie!
So today, twenty-three years ago, I was in labor. Yep, Mary in labor on Christmas Eve. And, no, we didn’t call Sophie Noel or Jesus. Sophia Michelle DeMuth is now 23 years old, and a gem of a girl who audaciously loves Jesus and deeply cares for people. That’s what Jesus said to us, to […]
